Delay repay right after invalid connection?

[Mcr Warrior]

YMMV??

Usually means Your Mileage May Vary.

In other words, you may have a different outcome.

Understand that the term dates back to 1970s/1980s era advertising small print, especially as regards claimed motor vehicle mileage per gallon figures.

It's not a valid connection and there would be no right to Delay Repay. Whether you would actually receive compensation is a matter for the operator.

Presumably it would be a different kettle of fish if the 16.30 were to be delayed 15 minutes before departure ( thus satisfying the minimum connection time) and then do as described as above - assuming I’m on a flexible ticket.

Delay Repay entitlement is determined by comparing the booked arrival time (following a valid itinerary) with the actual arrival time.

So - if I arrive at 16.29 and hear announcements saying that the next train to my destination ( the 16.30) is delayed but will be at the adjacent platform in about 10 minutes, I get it, but it then breaks down and I’m stuck on it for an hour, I get no compensation because I should have waited for the 17.00 which was showing “delayed” on the screen? In reality of course, if I’m on a flexible ticket, there’s probably no way of proving that I wasn’t on the previous train on my first leg.

No doubt some will argue that, but in practice it's just a case of the delay is <actual arrival time> - <arrival time from your itinerary>, regardless of what you actually did, provided you didn't deliberately hang around and prolong the delay.

No, what @yorkie is saying is that you would be entitled to compensation based on the scheduled arrival time of the 17:00 train, and actual arrival time of the 16:30.

Yep, exactly this.
